Police forensics officers load a Mercedes car in which police said contained a "potentially viable explosive device" onto a lorry in Haymarket in central London, 29 June 2007. Scotland Yard said they were called to The Haymarket, near the Piccadilly Circus landmark and the British capital's main theatre district, just before 2:00 am (0100 GMT) after reports that a car was parked suspiciously. "As a precautionary measure the immediate area was cordoned off while the vehicle was examined by explosives officers," they said in a statement. (Agence France Presse)
